Critical care nurses may encounter a victim of domestic violence or abuse when caring for an individual with traumatic injuries. Understanding the injuries that are associated with acts of violence is only the first step. A vital part of the nurse's responsibilities is the precise written documentation of observations, physical assessments, and other factors that may later become vital evidence in a court of law.
